Mixed marriages can be like that, flea.

Mixed platform marriages have challenges, they never really go away.
One round of dishes done, laundry gathered up but not sorted. I think I will watch an old Nova and fold the clean laundry from last week that hasn't been put away yet...
I might be able to manage no grocery shop this week. I've got produce coming on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, and my meat pick up on Thursday (I don't think I've eaten half of last month's, yet! I need to get on that), and I think I have enough cheese still in the fridge to get through the week. If I actually run out of anything I can make emergency groceries after work.
The point of all this cogitation is to justify not getting dressed. Fleece pajamas, so comfortable.

Between this and his affection for black turtlenecks, Steve Jobs has a lot to answer for.

We handle our mixed platform marriage by me cheerfully ignoring his PC and Android devices. Although Tim is thinking about getting a Chromebox for his dad when they come out this spring, and getting a Chromebook for himself so that if his dad has any problems, Tim can just look at his and see what's up. And I admit, the Chromebook/box look pretty cool.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
For a second there, I thought you were going to say that mr. flea had picked up a taste for black turtlenecks. So I suppose it could be worse.

Wait, DID you say that? CURSE YOU ZOMBIE STEVE JOBS! And my lack of a second cup of coffee.

I think I'm gonna upgrade my phone as a birthday present to myself, and I am tempted by the Droid, but I will probably stick with the iPhone. I have a ton of apps.

mr. flea has a macbook pro and an iphone, and we have an ipad mini, so it's not like he's being deprived of mac products. He just wants ME to love Steve Jobs as much as he does. (And yes, he does like black turtlenecks specifically because of Steve Jobs.)

Not belated yet, Suzi, it's on Tuesday. But thanks! Is yours today? Many happy returns if I am remembering that right.
I have a 4S, I've had it for long enough for Verizon to subsidize my upgrade, and they will give me something for recycling the old one, so it supposedly works out to be practically free. I'm sure there's a catch but I haven't worked out what it is. Other than I'll have a two-year contract again, but I don't find that such a bother.
